remove_directory

remove directory(1m)													      remove directory(1m)

NAME

       remove directory - Removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp remove directory directory-name attribute-name [= attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of the directory.  The name of a particular attribute.	Specify only one attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file
       for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.  The value of a particular attribute.  The value of	an
       application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The  remove  directory command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a
       directory.  If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute.  This command can delete attributes created by the add
       directory and set directory commands.  Usually this task is performed through the client application.  See the OSF DCE Administration Guide
       for more information about attributes.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the directory.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       To remove the value 1 from the user-defined, set-valued attribute dirregion of a directory named  /.:/sales, follow these steps:  Read  the
       cds_attributes file to check that the attribute dirregion is listed, as shown in the following display:

	   OID		  LABEL 	 SYNTAX  1.3.22.1.3.66	  dirregion	  small Enter the following command to remove the value 1 from the
       attribute dirregion.  cdscp> remove directory /.:/sales dirregion = 1

RELATED INFORMATION
